After switching between earbuds and choosing the ones that offer least leakage and best comfort, we have connected the unit to our Huawei P30 smartphone and watched various TV shows, YouTube clips and podcasts. We were quite amazed to see great sound delivery all across the board, including quite a bit of bass, which is not very frequent when working with in-ear headphones. The bass can be further enhanced by using the software application and even at higher volumes we did not encounter distortion. The use of the neckband does allow an optimal placement of the microphone, which can deliver clear voice to the person on the other side of the call, with little to no background noise.

Not all motherboards are created equal, and some come with different distinguishing features which amplify them above the others. Whether that be gaming or professional use, the ASUS Pro WS X570-Ace as it stands is the only X570 model which is focused on the professional market with official support for ECC memory, three full-length PCIe 4.0 slots which operate at x16, x8/x8, and is the only current X570 model to operate at x8/x8/x8 across all of its slots, using a full x8 connection from the chipset.

With the rise of streaming and the potential to earn money as a gamer, more people than ever are beginning channels and streams. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you need two things: great video and outstanding audio. Today, we're looking at the Deity Microphones V-Mic D3 Pro, a premium tool designed to be the perfect off-camera solution for every kind of content creator. Read on for our full review!

There’s no shortage of iPad creativity apps on the market today, but Adobe wants to prove there’s room for at least one more. Adobe Fresco is a new tool for iPad illustrators promising a truly organic drawing and painting experience that accelerates workflows across multiple devices. I’ve been testing the app to see how natural it feels and how it compares to other tools, including Adobe’s own existing apps.

Depending on which of Intel's NUC 8 Mainstream G is purchased, users will either have an Intel 8th Gen Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 processor. The storage configuration may differ also. In the model we'll be looking at today (BXNUC8i5INHPA1) we have the IntelR CoreT i5-8265U Processor, 8GB 2133MHz LPDDR3, and a 256GB Intel SSD 545S.

Before getting too far, it is important to note Metal Wolf Chaos XD is best thought of as a re-release, and not a remaster or remake. While some things have been improved, like the textures, the content and experience has been unchanged from the original game. This means the "grandiose" voice overs and localization quirks remain, but alongside the improved textures for modern 1080p and 4K displays, the UI has been redrawn for modern displays, and the voice over has been remastered from the original audio. This means the audio will be of higher quality, but the voices and content have not been changed.

The Noz is the newest mid-range headset from ROCCAT and is a follow up to the Roccat Renga Boost. ROCCAT states it is outfitted with top-of-the-line 50mm drivers which deliver a perfect audio profile, a Real-Voice microphone and multi-platform connectivity.

The last few generations have been rather exciting with AMD coming out swinging on both the CPU and GPU side of things. It was on August 14th, 2017 that AMD released their long-awaited Vega line up of graphics cards. AMD's 5th generation GCN, or Graphics Core Next architecture was based on their 14nm FinFET architecture and featured HBM2 memory in …

It is the second week of August and that means custom Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards are here! It seems there is a lot of hype around these cards, even more than what we saw for NVIDIA's Super Series cards. Maybe it is because AMD fans have not seem custom cards in quite a while, but whatever the case it is exciting if you are looking to pick up a Radeon RX 5700 series card and have been waiting for custom models. Sapphire is launching their Pulse RX 5700 series today with both 5700 XT and 5700 (non-XT) models. We are taking a look at the Pulse RX 5700, which come in at only $10 more than AMD's reference card. It features a 12-layer PCB, factory overclock, Sapphire's Dual-X cooling solution, a full metal backplate, and a dual-BIOS. Let's take a look and see what this custom Radeon RX 5700 is all about!

AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 series is finally getting the much-awaited custom variants and MSI is out with an entirely new lineup designed just for RDNA based graphics cards. Launched last month, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 lineup introduced very competitive prices for mainstream tier graphics cards which would go against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX lineup, now AIBs are further expanding the lineup with their non-reference variants that offer better cooling performance and higher out of box clock speeds.

The Radeon RX 5700 series uplifted AMD by bringing a modern architecture design and moving away from their GCN design. This allows AMD to bring more streamlined graphics performance in modern workloads and gaming titles. AMD was already ahead of the curve in utilizing new techs such as HBM and smaller process nodes and Navi is no exception. Aside from the new graphics architecture, AMD has also introduced GDDR6 memory and a smaller 7nm process node for their mainstream lineup which is a big update from the 14nm process on Polaris and Vega series cards.

SAPPHIRE is the first out of the gate with a custom Navi graphics card in the Radeon RX 5700 XT PULSE OC, fueling Team Red fans with its first toe dipped into the custom RX 5700 series world. I'm hoping for a TOXIC variant from SAPPHIRE in a new custom RX 5700 XT, something that was teased in May 2019 as a custom watercooled Navi graphics card. Until then, the new Radeon RX 5700 XT PULSE OC is the best we have from SAPPHIRE and a nice upgrade on the reference AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT in many ways. The custom cooler looks great, it runs cooler than the reference RX 5700 XT, has overclocking potential, and operates nice and quietly, too.

The world has been patiently waiting for custom Navi graphics cards, and we're off to a pretty exciting start with SAPPHIRE. If you were going to buy a Radeon RX 5700 XT and had to buy one today, then you would definitely want the PULSE OC on your radar.

Custom RX 5700 XTs are here with new TriXX in tow. AMD has returned from the premium graphics wilderness with the launch of its Radeon RX 5700 Series graphics cards. Powered by the 7nm Navi architecture, the first two boards - RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 - have made things interesting in the mid-to-high-end space, and a solid showing from reference boards has left us eager to see how custom partner cards will fare.

That wait ends today with the arrival of Sapphire Pulse variants priced at £425 and £365, respectively. We're beginning with the dearer RX 5700 XT Pulse, with the RX 5700 Pulse to follow, so let's get stuck in.

Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Pulse is equipped with a factory overclock and features a much better thermal solution than the AMD reference design. The card not only runs a lot quieter, temperatures are better than on any other RX 5700 XT that we've tested so far, and idle fan stop is included, too.

Our first look at a custom Navi graphics card comes from Sapphire's RX 5700 PULSE. AMD’s Navi-based RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT graphics cards launched last month, and we received them very favourably with both cards coming in faster than their Nvidia counterparts at the same price. The major letdown was, of course, the reference cooler, so we have been eagerly waiting for custom cards to see what they can do. Well, the wait is over as we can now present our review of Sapphire’s RX 5700 Pulse!

While I was impressed with the sheer number of colors this reproduces, I was not as impressed with how bright it is. The box claims a 1400 lumen output which should be significantly brighter than a typical A19 bulb. But in actual use it appears to be dimmer than a typical bulb.
